Abstract
Time operators associated with an abstract semi-bounded self-adjoint operator H possessing a purely discrete spectrum are considered. The existence of a bounded self-adjoint time operator T for such an operator H is known as the Galapon time operator. In this paper, we construct a self-adjoint but unbounded time operator T for H with a dense CCR-domain, thereby extending the framework beyond the bounded setting.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Letters in Mathematical Physics is to attract the community''s attention on important and original developments in the area of mathematical physics and contemporary theoretical physics. The journal publishes letters and longer research articles, occasionally also articles containing topical reviews. We are committed to both fast publication and careful refereeing. In addition, the journal offers important contributions to modern mathematics in fields which have a potential physical application, and important developments in theoretical physics which have potential mathematical impact.
